StingingVelvet: Good post. I guess what I more meant is that it's weird they have gotten much of anyone to go along with it, and I don't expect big publishers doing so anytime soon.

Also, kind of unrelated, I wonder how many GOG sales are from idiots like me who don't mind paying a few bucks to get a non-Steam or non-Origin copy of a game we already own. In the current weekend sale I am very tempted to get Dragon Age Origins for example, even though I own the game on Steam and all the DLC through Bioware's site.

Firefox31780: Might as well include me in that idiot description. I have been slowly buying games here that I already have on Steam so I can free myself from that platform and their stupid "subscriber model". I can't remember the last game I actually bought there. GOG Connect has helped me a little in that regard, for which I am appreciative.

Mr_Whiffles: I've always loved the idea behind GOG Connect, but I don't think it is very useful. You can only get a GOG game at a certain time if you own the Steam version, but during this time I've rarely seen a Steam version discounted. I prefer GOG games, which means that my Steam library isn't as big, which means that GC isn't as effective for me. It also limits my GOG spending in order to get the Steam release on the slim chance I can use GC. It's a catch-22; I'd like to have both versions, but I prefer GOG, and I've stopped buying too many GOG games because I want to use the GOG Connect feature. Does anyone share similar sentiments with GOG Connect?

Mr_Whiffles: I see what you did there.

ChristopherRobin:

ChristopherRobin: I honestly didn't mean anything more or less than what I stated. I'd much rather use GOG and get DRM free games I can play without a client involved unless I choose to use it.
I'm glad they worked out a way to migrate some of my games away from Steam and onto GOG and I wish they could work out a way do it with all of them.

There's nothing more to it than that.

Mr_Whiffles: I was referring to the "Thank GOG" pun. Awko-taco.
